Two trolley cars travel through a commercial area on Meridian Street in East Boston, Massachusetts. One of them has a sign marked "Tunnel" and an advertisement for the Boston Pops. On December 30, 1904, the Boston Elevated Railway Company opened the East Boston Tunnel, the first underwater subway tunnel in the United States, to connect Maverick Square and downtown Boston. The businesses include the shoe store of John A. O'Shea, O'Shea's Corner (91 Meridian); the furniture and home furnishings store of Simon Hirshberg (96 Meridian); and the grocery store of Frank E. Burnham Frank (97 Meridian).
